The washer fills with very little hot water regardless of the setting. Actually, the water is cold even when the temperature setting is on hot. If a new water inlet valve is needed, tell me how to remove the cover over the valve.

Hello Ray, Thank you for your inquiry. First, check your fill hoses to make sure the hot water hose going to the water inlet valve is turned on all the way and not kinked or clogged. You can test the water inlet valve itself with a multimeter to see if it is working. To access the valve, remove the fill hoses from the back with a pair of pliers, using a towel to catch excess water. Use a Philips head screw driver to remove the screws from the back of the control panel, then you can lift it up and tilt it forward. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

I keep getting a IE light on my lg top load. My filters are clean and have good water pressure. My questions are, should I replace the mother board, switch assembly sensor or my washer water inlet valve. I feel like it’s a sensor or something electrical as is seams to be dispensing plenty of water. Thanks in advance for your response

Hello Caleb, thank you for contacting us. An IE error code indicates that the washer was unable to fill with water. We recommend you check the water supply lines for clogging. If the lines are not blocked, you may need to replace the water inlet valve, part number FIX12374721, to fix the issue. We hope this information helps!

How to remove the hinge dampener
For model number WT1501CW
Fix.com logo
Hi Daphne, thank you for contacting us. We have found some relevant instructions regarding the removal of the friction damper. These may not be of the same model, but will help you to remove it. You may need to follow these steps: 1. Use a screwdriver to open the access panels 2. Pull out the little panels inside of both sides and set them aside 3. Remove all the screws from the dampening unit on both sides. 4. Pry the unit away so that the pin comes out and the whole friction damper comes out of the compartment. 5. Replace them with a new hinge damper. 6. Follow the same procedure backward to install them. We hope this information helps!

The right side hinge that holds the washer top door broke and needed to be replaced.
Popped out the plastic "doors" that cover the metal actuators. Removed the metal actuators on both right and left sides of the door then unscrewed (3 screws each actuator) them from door frame. Slid the actuators out to enable the door to be removed. Unscrewed 2 screws on the top front of the washer which enabled me to angle the top of the washer to expose the screws that hold the plastic hinges. Unscrewed the hinges (2 screws each) and replaced both of the hinges (I figured I'd do both of them now so I don't have to do it again for another 15 years). Put everything back together and all works like new.

Watch this video on youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZKgP6hu8Fk very similar

Keep all parts separate and in order in a plastic box with dividers
1. Disconnect washer from wall. (electrical and hot/cold hoses, drain tube)
2. Remove center cap from bottom tub plate
3. Remove small bolt under cap
4. R emove bottom Tub Plate
5. Remover washer
6. Remove larger 38mm nut (I bought the correct deep well socket) Ive seen other video use a pipe wrench)
6a. Remove the large washer under nut
NOTE- I did not remove the tub, total hassle, found it unnecessary, Yes the washer was heavier but nothing that cant be managed.
7. Place a blanket on the floor and lay the washer on its back to access the bottom.
NOTE Everthing is nuts and bolts at this point. 10mm socket worked on all
8. Remove Nut & washer on rotor. Remove rotor-its has a line of magnets and the edges are sharp. Just wiggle it a bit. wear gloves if need be.
9. Remove bolts from Stator, user a small flat blade screw driver to undo 1 or 2 (some) electrical connections. Lay the stator aside. Move the electric connector(s) out of the way.
10. Remove the grounding wire at 6 oclock position
11.Remove the rectangular pack and the 3 oclock position by removing 2 bolts. It has a small arm that reaches out to the clutch arm, slide the piece out to the widest part of hole in clutch arrn an wiggle it loose.
Almost there....
12. Remove all the 10MM headed bolts from the clutsh and drive assemble The inner bolts are a slightly different style, keep the two sets separate.
13. Remove the clutch and drive.

NOTE: if the drive doesnt come out with a slight pull, you have missed a bolt(s)-inspect and remove as need be

14 Wipe clean the pocket in the outer wash tub that accepts the seal on the top of the drive. Lubricate the new drives seal completely with a little dishwasher detergent so it slides smoothly and seals well.

15. Assembly is the reverse:

Last Notes:
*Install all bolts for the clutch and drive hand tight as you get everything lined up.
*Once all bolt are in the clutch and drive are hand tight, tighten the bolts in a cross pattern as you would a wheels lug nuts
*Snug the bolts used to attached the clutch and drive firmly 1/8 to 1/4 turn past snug
*Make sure you clock the stator to the correct position, again hand tighten bolts then final tighten in a cross pattern.
*The nut and washer in the rotor tighten to 1/4 to 1/2 turn past snug, its tight.
*The large 38 MM nut on the top of the drive assembly torque is 88 ft lbs. Have a partner or friend hold the tub while you torque the large nut. If you don't have a torque wrench you can rent one from a number of auto-part chain stores.
*I used a 1/2 Impact gun to remove the 38mm nut, Never use that kind of power to reassemble as it will damage parts.


Good luck, you can do it.
